Utrecht University MIRACLE Research Centre focuses on the study of Moving Image Representations in Audio-Visual, Cinematic and Light-emitting Environments. MIRACLE is a platform for research on the moving image in its various facets conducted at Utrecht University, from early cinema to recent developments of digital image production, distribution, and exhibition. In particular, Utrecht research has concentrated over the past years on the emergence of cinema as a new medium, the history of moviegoing as a cultural and social experience, and the transformations of the moving image as a consequence of digitisation.
